Coronavirus and football.

Seriously though, there may be plenty of PPE available, but is it good enough for NHS staff?

Are masks not washable or reuseable more than once? That's gonna be one muttha****a of a toxic landfill...........

Seeing as all a mask is good for, is stopping a person spraying everywhere when coughing and sneezing. Then what exactly is wrong with a washable one? It's what the asians use and they wear them more than anyone.

Just seen on the Dutch news (RTL4) that the EFL has announced no crowds at EFL games until 2021 at the earliest.

Best all get your RamsTV subscriptions.

Translation is.....

Players from Premier League competitions have been told that they have likely played their last game in public. This is evident from a leaked audio recording.

The recording, which was heard by the BBC, tells how Alex Rodman, a player who is part of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) on behalf of Bristol Rovers, informs his teammates about the news. "We will not play to the public again this year unless a vaccine is suddenly available," said Rodman, after speaking to a delegation from the English Football League, some clubs, and the PFA.

Promotion
Rodman also explained what the plans are in terms of promotion and relegation, if the season cannot be completed. According to him, three teams will be promoted to a higher division, while there will be no relegation. In that case, the Premier League will consist of 23 teams next year, with more teams relegated.

Posted this on the wrong thread (sorry), but in short, according to DT and based on PPG so far this season - giving very little change from the current table - we’d finish 12th and Leeds, West Brom and Fulham would swap places with Norwich, Villa and Bournemouth.
Last year’s three promoted sides...Charlton, Luton and Barnsley would become this season’s relegated sides to be replaced by Coventry, Rotherham and Wycombe.
Hope it’s taken account of home and away PPG...not sure it has. Wycombe seem to be the biggest winners, probably fair for the Championship imo. Wolves, Spurs and Arsenal would all miss out on the top six but well done Sheffield Utd and probably Wolves if City’s ban is upheld.
Thoughts?

I never noticed and posted my thoughts on the other thread also.

I think you should add current form to your current total.

Ie: last 9 games results if you have 9 games left, last 10 games' results of you have 10 games left and so on.

I think that this would be the fairest way to artificially end the season.

They are never going to end a season artifically. It's lar lar land to think so.
The law suits would come faster than Barrymore to a swimming gala.

It's either nothing played. Or behind closed doors.
That's it.

Not quite sure how they’ve done it. Only changes in the top two divisions, from current to recalculated positions, were Sheffield United and Wolves swapping places along with Spurs and Arsenal but in League One it seems Wycombe have jumped from 8th to 3rd.

Rammie, I think current form would fly out the window.
Clubs would have players back from injury
Players would either be rested and fitter/ or out of shape and worse than they were form wise
Crowd advantage would obviously change.
You can't add that into a guess

EPL now saying there would have to be 40,000 tests to enable the remaining 92 games to be played. That's an average of 434.78 tests per game.
